Chapter 42: Assessment (I)

It is said that Yue Fei suddenly changed his face after seeing Zong Liushou read the letter, and scolded him, for some reason? Asked suspiciously: "My lord, Yue Fei doesn't understand why the adult is angry, is it that Liu Duyuan offended the adult with words in his heart?" You said that Wusheng and I used money to buy Liu Duyuan, what is going on? Why can't I understand at all? ”

"Yue Fei, let me ask you, why did you become a Tang Yin martial artist? You are young, why does Liu Duyuan care so much about you, a few days ago he wrote to me, saying how are you? Now I have written to me, asking me to take care of you and care about you, you said, Liu Duyuan and you are not related, why does he value you so much? Unless he takes your bribes to open the joints for you. Zong Liushou said with a clear eye.

"My lord, you wronged Liu Duyuan and blamed Yue Fei. To be honest, Yue Fei was originally a person from Xiaoyi in Yonghe Township, Tangyin County. When I was seven years old, I was hit by a flood, and soon I was hit by a plague. Because of the plague, his father and father-in-law, fearing that his family would be affected, committed suicide by throwing himself into the river. My mother sold her ancestral house and buried my father, and then took me outside to escape the famine and ask for food. We asked for food all the way to Qilin Village, Neihuang County, and thanks to the Duke of En, Ming Yuan, we took in our mother and son and gave us a place to live. A few years later, by chance, my mother and I rescued an injured old man, his name was Zhou Tong. Master Zhou Tong, he accepted me as a righteous son and passed on my martial arts. He recovered from his injuries in Qilin Village, and in order to thank the three grandfathers of Qilin Village, he promised to stay and teach me and a few sworn brothers martial arts, and he stayed for several years. Our five brothers just started the small exam in Neihuang County, all of them passed, the lord of Inner Huang County, Lord Li, recommended to come to Xiangzhou to take the exam, Mengliu Duyuan raised love, heard that Wusheng's hometown was in Tangyin, so he ordered Tangyin County Lord Xu to build a house in Wusheng Tangyin's hometown, and gave our mother and son to return to their hometown. When we went to Beijing, we went to Xiangzhou to bid farewell to Liu Duyuan, and Liu Duyuan gave Wusheng fifty taels of silver as a passage fee to Beijing before leaving. Lord Liu said to me that he wrote you a letter some time ago, and he was afraid that you would forget to read it, so he revised another book and asked me to hand it over to you in person. My lord, the Wusheng family is so poor, how can they have money to give gifts? However, Lord Xu and Lord Liu gave Wusheng a silver tael. Yue Fei said unhurriedly......

Zong Ze listened to Yue Fei's heartfelt words, shocked, and thought in his heart: "I have heard the name of Zhou Dong for a long time, like thunder, he is the No. 1 teacher in Tianzi, he practiced martial arts in Shaolin Temple in his early years, and he got the book of arranging troops and arranging troops of Jiang Wei, the prime minister of Shu during the Three Kingdoms, and his disciples Lin Chong and Lu Junyi are all great characters, it seems that since this Yue Fei is Zhou Dong's adopted son, his kung fu is naturally good, wait for me to test him, if it is really an outstanding young man said by Liu Duyuan, then I will be admitted exceptionally and carry it well." ”

"Yue Fei, you claim to be a disciple of Zhou Tong, then I will test you, if you really have some skills, the official will naturally take care of it, if you sell your reputation, don't blame the official for being ruthless." Zong Ze said.

"Everything is up to the adults, and Yue Fei will do it." Yue Fei readily agreed.

"Alright, you come with me to the Arrow Hall." Zong Ze said that he took Yue Fei to the Arrow Hall.

There were all kinds of bows and arrows in the arrow hall, Zong Ze sat down and said to Yue Fei: "Yue Fei, you go and choose a bow and shoot it for this official." ”

Yue Fei took the order and stepped forward and came to the bow stand, there were many bows on the bow stand, Yue Fei selected them one by one, but did not find a good bow. "What? Don't dare to compete? Zong Ze asked.

Yue Fei knelt down and said, "My lord, these bows are too soft to shoot far. ”

"And how much strength do you usually use in your bow?" Zong Ze asked curiously.

"Lord Qiyu, the bow and arrow used by the villain Ping said that it was an iron bow given by the master, and it had nearly three hundred catties of strength. An arrow shot out, at least more than two hundred paces away. Yue Fei said.

When Zong Ze heard this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly asked the military academy to take the Divine Arm Bow.

"Yue Fei, this bow is full of three hundred catties, I don't know if it can be moved?" Zong Ze said.

"Let me try." Yue Fei said.

The military academy took the Divine Arm Bow and the carved arrow and put them at the bottom of the steps, Yue Fei walked over, picked up the Divine Arm Bow and pulled it hard, and shouted, "Good bow!" He mounted the carved arrow and "swished" and shot nine arrows in a row, and the arrow hit the bull's-eye.

"Good! Good archery! All the military academies applauded in unison.

Yue Fei put down his bow and arrow to see Zong Ze, Zong Ze was overjoyed and asked, "Yue Fei, what weapon do you use?" ”

"My lord, Wusheng practiced martial arts with his master, and he practiced all weapons, but Wusheng used to use guns." Yue Fei said.

"That's good! The official also likes to use guns, so you can use my steel gun to play a few tricks to show the officer. Military Academy, bring me my gun. Zong Ze said goodbye and ordered the military academy to get a gun.

The military academy took the gun over, Yue Fei lifted it in his hand, went down the steps, shook the gun on the arrow field, walked sideways, picked left and right, one move Danfeng Chaoyang, one move looked back at the moon, one move Nezha explored the sea, one move swept thousands of troops, the move was sharp, and it was superb.

Zong Ze saw it and applauded, and the left and right military academies also applauded.

After Yue Fei finished using the gun, his face changed color, he didn't breathe, he gently put the gun aside, came up and knelt down to salute.

"Yue Fei, I see that you are really a hero, and what Liu Duyuan said is true. If the court uses you as a general, how will you lead the troops? How to arrange troops? How to conquer the city? Zong Ze asked.

"If the future martial arts can show their ambitions in life, I will order and prohibit, rewards and punishments are clear, and strict military discipline can rectify the army's prestige and strengthen the army's appearance; The majesty of the army can shake the mountains, and strict discipline can boost morale. The strategy is not in the bravery, and the soldiers are in the fine but not in the many. Beware of trapping in high places, and beware of flooding in low-lying places; Those who lead the troops take the lead, love their subordinates, give both grace and power, and do not seek fame and fortune. Where the law of using soldiers, the whole country is the first, and the country is secondary; The whole battalion is the first, and the broken battalion is second; On all five positions, five times are broken. Therefore, the army is plotted, and the second is the army......" Yue Fei talked eloquently.

Zong Ze was overjoyed when he heard this, stepped forward and helped Yue Fei with both hands and said: "Xianqi, please get up, I thought you were bribing to advance, but I don't know that you are really talented and learned." There were many offends in the previous words, and I hope to forgive the old man and Liu Duyuan's friendship. Zong Ze said with a smile.

"It's normal for the lord to have suspicions, what's the crime? It's just that Yue Fei said that he still has to rely on the left-behind adults to take care of him. Yue Fei said.

"This is natural. Xianqi, come with me. Zong Ze said and took Yue Fei to the inner room.

"Xianqi, don't be restrained, sit down, let's have a good chat." Zong Ze said and ordered the left and right to bring tea in.

Yue Fei Chongzong stayed behind and made a gesture before sitting down.

After a while, the left and right came in with tea, Zong Ze told them to step back, close the door, and sit on the top, while the two of them sipped tea and talked about the method of marching and arranging the formation.

"Xianqi is excellent in martial arts, have you ever reviewed the method of marching and arranging the formation?" Zong Ze asked.

"Studying according to the map and reading according to the book is a stubborn method, and it is not advisable. During the Warring States Period, Zhao Kuo was familiar with military books, and he would only read from the book and would not adapt to changes, and as a result, he had the painful lesson of the Battle of Changping. During the Three Kingdoms period, Ma Tan would only talk on paper and exaggerate, which led to the loss of the street pavilion and the wide opening of the door in Shu. The past does not forget the teacher of the future, Yue Fei remembers it in his heart. ”

"In your opinion, how do you arrange the troops?" Zong Ze asked.

"Lining up is like a good doctor seeing a doctor, and the disease is ever-changing, and the medicine is also changing. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the best decisions can only be made by analyzing the specific situation on a case-by-case basis. ”

"According to you, the wisdom of the ancients is of no use to the present man?" Zong Ze asked rhetorically.

"Of course it is useful, we can use it as a reference, according to the terrain, terrain, and the strength of the two sides on the battlefield. If you want to win, you must also be familiar with the terrain, find out the opponent's movements, and know yourself and the opponent to win all battles. ”
